by new car you mean it's new to the person looking at it for the first time? yeah, I was looking for independent mechanics that know what they're doing already...I have no interest in contributing to this job or researching what to do. I have a shop I go to and they're pretty good for small stuff but before I reached out to them I wanted to check here to gauge interest.

Ah ok, I thought you were asking to see if one of us wanted to do it. I don't know of any, sorry

lol I'll report my findings...which I expect will be nothing, lol, based on your feedback I definitely was looking for local support from the board, but only if it was someone who had prior experience with this car/engine.
